Hey, thanks guys! I've had an extremely busy year. I haven't been here at Beat King for quite some time, but hopefully that'll change. All the things that have brought some turmoil into my life this year have been straightened out, and I look forward to some calmer times.

Some stats would be nice.

UNICEF report: USA and UK have highest teen pregnancy rates.

IMHO is all about education or the lack thereof.

[Oral sex lessons to cut rates of teenage pregnancy]

Must be odd for kids growing up in the carefree world of the Internet, while STDs and threat of AIDS resides in the real world. No wonder oral sex is in..

The only sure thing about oral sex is that it won't get anyone pregnant. It doesn't protect from STDs like herpes, gonorrhea, syphillis, HPV, AIDS, and other evil things though.

By the way, ever noticed that teen-pregnancy is an predominantly an Anglo-Saxon problem when we look at the developed world?

[Newsmap]

If you're a news junkie, this makes one awesome desktop wallpaper for ya!

From its intro page:

Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator. A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator. Treemaps are traditionally space-constrained visualizations of information. Newsmap's objective takes that goal a step further and provides a tool to divide information into quickly recognizable bands which, when presented together, reveal underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news segments in constant change around the globe.

Newsmap does not pretend to replace the googlenews aggregator. It's objective is to simply demonstrate visually the relationships between data and the unseen patterns in news media. It is not thought to display an unbiased view of the news, on the contrary it is thought to ironically accentuate the bias of it.

[Collideous Is in the House!]

Holy f...(arting) cow! I signed up on this forum this morning after seeing Psilaxs' post on Zeropaid, then coming over here just to take a look and see all these familiar names. Just got home from seeing "Monsieur Ibrahim", and what do I see here? Well, thanks folks for the welcome. I'll try to post as often as I can, but ain't gonna promise to be all that frequent. Otherwise I'll get in trouble with the wife. Anyway, thanks. You guys just got me to make a first post, yeay!
